Abstract (max. 200 words):
This will be a short presentation about how knitr, a report generating library for R, can be used for generating and displaying many neuroimaging analysis results, from quality control images through GLM or MVPA results. I’ll introduce my functions for displaying NIfTI and gifti images in knitr documents. We have found knitr to both save time (e.g., over copy-pasting images into a word document) and to reduce errors (e.g., the source of a copy-pasted image is lost, but the full path is preserved in a knitr document). I will also point out situations when report-generating strategies like knitr (or the python equivalents) can be preferable to live notebooks.

Hi @jaetzel, I’m happy to tell you that we’d like to host your lightning talk in the OSR in the neuroscience toolkit session. This will be a talk of 5 minutes + 5 minutes of questions. We’ll update the program in the ReadMe.md shortly. We’d much appreciate it if you could submit presentation material to the presentations folder, preferably but not necessarily before the presentation.
